Contributes to the Table Grape Business while Enhancing Profits

When asked why he selected the Kubota B2420, Mr. Beukes responded: “One of the main reasons was it’ s economical fuel consumption. Mainly for spraying, we previously used another brand’ s 55kW tractor. The Kubota dealer suggested testing this model over a period of a few days. At first I thought that such a small 17kW tractor would not be able to get the job done satisfactorily. Amazingly, I soon realized I had been wrong. The B2420 proved to be powerful enough to fulfil all our spraying needs while consuming less fuel.” He continued: “Besides economical fuel consumption, another noteworthy benefit has been the improved quality of harvested fruit. With the larger tractor we previously used, some of the fruit was damaged due to contact during the spraying process. With the low, narrow body of the B2420, the grapes grow without such bruising. This has resulted in more bountiful harvests contributing to enhanced profit.”
